AROMA Audio Xuanwu - Products
The Aroma Audio Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) is a high-performance portable DAC/Amp featuring a user-replaceable Op-Amp architecture. Engineered as the ultimate entry point into the Aroma ecosystem, it includes two distinct Op-Amp modules ("HD" and "Vocal"), allowing you to physically swap the sound signature between expansive staging and intimate vocals.
Aroma Audio 玄武 (Xuanwu) 是一款高性能便攜解碼耳擴(小尾巴),採用獨特的可更換運放 (Op-Amp) 架構。作為 Aroma 生態系統的基石,玄武附帶兩個獨特的運放模組("HD" 和 "Vocal"),讓您可以根據音樂類型,在「宏大聲場」與「細膩人聲」之間自由切換音色。
Xuanwu: The Foundation of Audio Sovereignty
In ancient mythology, the Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) guards the North and represents stability, longevity, and the element of Water. True to its name, the Aroma Audio Xuanwu serves as the rock-solid foundation for any portable audio setup. Unlike standard "Little Tail" dongles with a fixed, sterile sound, the Xuanwu is engineered for Tunability and Discovery.
Replaceable Op-Amp Architecture
The core innovation of the Xuanwu is its socketed logic board, allowing users to physically swap the Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) chips to alter the sound signature. It is not just an amplifier; it is a palette.
Two Sonic Personalities Included
We include two distinct Op-Amp modules in the box to start your journey:
- The "HD" Module (Pre-installed): Tuned for power and scale. It delivers an expansive soundstage with authoritative low-frequency impact, ideal for Classical, OST, and Rhythmic electronic music.
- The "Vocal" Module (Included): Tuned for intimacy and texture. It brings the mid-range forward, enhancing the breathiness of vocals and the decay of strings, perfect for Jazz, Pop, and Acoustic tracks.
Aerospace Grade Construction
Despite its compact footprint (45g), the Xuanwu is built like a tank. The chassis is milled from 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy, providing excellent heat dissipation for the Class-A biasing and shielding the audio path from smartphone interference.
High-Output Balanced Drive
Don't let the size fool you. With 490mW @ 32Ω via the 4.4mm Balanced output, the Xuanwu drives multi-driver hybrids like the Fei Wan with ease, providing the current swing necessary for tight, controlled bass transients.
玄武 (Xuanwu):定海之石
在中國神話中,玄武(北方之神)象徵著穩定與長壽。Aroma Audio 「玄武」便攜解碼耳擴正是為便攜系統提供堅實基礎而生。與市面上聲音一成不變的「小尾巴」不同,玄武專為**「可玩性」**與**「調音探索」**而設計。
可更換運放 (Op-Amp) 架構
玄武的核心創新在於其可插拔的運放插座設計。這讓用戶可以像更換鏡頭一樣更換內部的音頻晶片(Op-Amp),從物理層面改變聲音特質。這不僅是一個放大器,更是一個調音台。
雙重聲音性格
我們在包裝內附贈了兩款截然不同的運放模組,讓您即刻體驗聲音的變化:
- "HD" 模組(預裝): 專為動態與氣勢調校。它能提供寬廣的空間感和強勁的低頻打擊力,非常適合古典、大編制及節奏感強的音樂。
- "Vocal" 模組(附贈): 專為細膩與情感調校。它將中頻拉近,強化人聲的紋理與高頻的延伸,是聆聽爵士、流行與人聲作品的絕佳選擇。
6061-T6 航太鋁合金機身
儘管僅重 45 克,玄武的工藝卻毫不妥協。機身由 6061-T6 航太鋁合金 CNC 精製而成,不僅手感扎實,還能有效作為散熱器,並屏蔽來自手機的電磁干擾,確保背景純淨。
強勁的平衡推力
別被它的體積欺騙。玄武在 4.4mm 平衡端可輸出高達 490mW @ 32Ω 的功率。這足以輕鬆驅動像 Fei Wan 這樣的高階多單元耳機,提供緊緻、收放自如的低頻控制力。
